The first lecture is about the challenges modern computing is facing. Scientific questions with greater problem size are asked and data to be stored grows bigger and bigger. The increased demands on computational resources in science can be met running a collection of computers/nodes as a single large parallel computer. When there is adequate inter process communication between such a...
